I love shopping for rugs. I am always on the lookout for amazing pieces, whether in a furniture store or a flea market. I love the notion of extending artwork beyond the walls and to the flooring, a space that is so frequently overlooked. Here are a few of my picks from around the internet which could make any flooring into an art gallery. — Lillian from Unstitched
